I thought to dig up the box copies of HL2 I got for 2004 Christmas from my now-deceased Dad, and HL2:EP1 I bought years afterwards. Unfortunately, I skipped getting a boxed copy of the Orange Box, I only purchased it digitally in Steam. I was quite poor back then and didn't think about the ideological value a boxed copy would have by today. If I think about it, probably HL2:EP1 was the last game I got a physical copy of, aside from the Undertale Collector's Edition from 2017.

Do you still have your physical copies perhaps? Post your photos here! Nice memories, huh?
